A therapist-facilitated group for new moms navigating the emotional shifts and challenges of early parenthood.
First-Year Moms Group Therapy
About First-Year Moms
This group meets in person at an indoor location in San Jose, CA. Babies 1 and under welcome to join. COVID protocols will be in place, but masking will not be required. Come find community in your first year of motherhood (or first year of your youngest child) and get support on:
Week 1: Building community & shared definitions—grounding ourselves in our values
Week 2: Unpacking mom anxiety—(un)learning which anxious burdens to leave behind
Week 3: Navigating “mom guilt"—getting to know our “mom parts”
Week 4: Understanding and regulating anger—decolonizing postpartum rage
Week 5: Normalizing when new mothers mourn past lives—holding space for mom grief
Week 6: Writing our own parenting playbook—building self-compassion for our fumblings
Bonus/Optional Week 7: Making space for mom joy!
After registering for this group, new members of Mom Village will be contacted for a consultation call to complete their registration.
